Rick Gordon Seeking Advice...

Hey Isaac,
I am trying to cut down on my mile time. Right now I can run a mile in about 9 minutes, but I always get this sharp, shooting pain in my abdomen and I don't know what to do about it.
Also, my dog keeps s&*%ing in the house. Do you think that has something to do with my mile time?
​Thanks, Rick

Greetings Rick,
We can address the first portion of the question. My answer is simple, but likely disappointing. I am no doctor, so for me to give any medical advice over the internet could be legally considered malpractice. However, in my personal opinion alone, perhaps you should take a break on running. You can do other cardio activities in the meantime.
Now for the second portion of the question. Your dog has no idea of the concept of a mile or of time. You need to take your dog out man.
